Tanthalas39 to Wikipedia: Go f**k yourself Options

[A Horse With No Name]

Somewhat lost in the hustle and bustle of Wiki-drama was this nervous breakdown by admin Tanthalas39 on his user page: http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=...oldid=264562383

He came back two days later. Personally, I don't think anyone missed him. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/evilgrin.gif)

I just did (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/ohmy.gif) Can't stand it any longer - I just had to get out. Eric Barbour pretty much got it right when he described admin/BLP work as just pushing against an overwhelming tide. And Milton is right in that the individual simply cannot fix the wrongs of the world ...

What was the last straw? Mail me if you prefer.

How does she know you won't leak it to your buddy Proabivouac?

Cos she knows me a bit. I have never leaked anything to Proab from anyone, also Alison has mentioned on here that she sometimes chats to Proab, so if she wants to say anything to him, she'll say it herself. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/smile.gif)

Sure, pull the other one. (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

This smacks of another, very recent happening here. Oh, delicious irony! (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

Post evidence, Random, or drop it.

I've spoken with WW in person, and I do know her a bit. And as she points out, I chat with Proab all the time ... so what? (IMG:smilys0b23ax56/default/rolleyes.gif)

He will find no evidence of my passing on any logs etc or even telling Proab anything he didn't already know, because I have not. He could perhaps try and twist any words of mine to say that, but they will always be able to be read in another way which will be the correct interpretation without someone trying to put a false spin on anything I've said.

I like to think Alison knows that I would never betray anyone's confidence like that, especially another ladies', though I will and have spoken to arbcom and to others who shared my concerns, about things I think think they need to know about other issues, as everyone should to stop people they believe are dodgy. And if I think someone is dodgy and have had a bad experience with them, or know that others have, I will speak out about it in a general way, but that's the right way to go to avoid allowing someone to go on and do the same thing to other people. I personally think that would be failing to do my duty to others and allowing people to possibly have a very unpleasant experience, making me partly responsible for that.

It's all subjective (and therefore you will say entirely worthless), but I will outline my reasons for coming to this belief:

You were the other person involved in attacking Kylu, and the only one of the two who would plausibly have had direct access to the wikichix post that Proabivouac copied here on WR. You were also shockingly unconcerned about his access to such material for someone who had been (and continued to do so even in making light of Proab's access) so condemning of the idea of anyone not in possession of two X chromosomes being able to access the list. I believe the only reasonable explanation for this sudden reversal is if you were the source (and therefore if that were the case, you knew damn well he wasn't going to get anything other than stuff you had no problem sending him and thus saw no cause for concern)

If you were sincere in your claimed belief that Kylu shouldn't have access to wikichix-l (and I believe you were), then your reaction should have mirrored Alison's - or, if anything, been stronger. That it didn't seems to imply that you have an additional piece of information (i.e. that you have control over what material gets forwarded to Proab).
